The Universal Century starts with the migration of humanity to populate space, after construction of the first space colony at Side 1 was completed. This is a list of fictional locations from the Universal Century timeline of the fictional Gundam Anime Metaseries. By far the most proliferative background universe, Universal Century makes up the dominating majority of the entire franchise. While many new Gundam stories are told in their own parallel universe with independent timelines, giving them a greater degree of creative freedom, the original UC storyline continues to be extremely popular for a variety of reasons. It established the series, and delivered many of its best moments, and nostalgia for the oldest of the Gundam shows (and Gundam's resulting status as a pop-culture icon in Japan) is still a major factor in its continuing success.

Sample of official timeline in 1999

In a pre-production memo, Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino wrote that the first series takes place in 2066 AD[2], which would have the Universal Century calendar starting in 1988 AD. Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story 0079 Rise From the Ashes, also known in Japan by the alternate title of is a video game that was released for the Sega Dreamcast The Xbox 360 is the second Video game console produced by Microsoft, and was developed in cooperation with IBM, ATI, and SiS. Mobile Ops The One Year War, known in Japan as, is a Third-person shooter / First-person shooter (different from the PlayStation 3 title is a Video game based on the Gundam Anime series It was developed by Koei and published by Namco Bandai. is a Japanese Anime creator director screenwriter and novelist However, a "2079" date stamp in the first Gundam series's episode 26 and a "2087" date stamp in Zeta Gundam's episode 8 indicated a 2001 AD starting date. (aired 1985 – 1986) was a televised Anime, part of the Gundam series and a Sequel to the original Mobile Suit Gundam The date stamps were not included in the subsequent movie versions of these series, and these dates have since been contradicted by works not written by Yoshiyuki Tomino.

Based on a dated newspaper shown in the last episode of the Gundam 0080 OVA series written by Gainax's Hiroyuki Yamaga (Monday, January 14, 0080) and in Mobile Suit ZZ Gundam, Axis Zeon became Neo Zeon on 29th Feb, 0088, the Universal Century can be pinpointed to begin in several specific years, including 2053, 2081, 2109, and 2149. The Anime series, is the first Gundam OVA series It was also the first time anyone other than creator Yoshiyuki Tomino was given a chance to direct abbreviated (and sometimes as OAV) is a term originating from Japanese animation ( Anime) for animated films and series which are made specially to be is a Japanese Anime studio famous for productions such as The Wings of Honneamise, Nadia The Secret of Blue Water, In the Universal Century chronology, the last dated entry of the AD system was 2045 AD, leading to the common misconception that UC 0001 followed immediately afterwards. A few early unofficial sources even listed UC 0001 as 2046 AD (or even 2045, using bad math), but current official materials indicate the presence of a gap of years between the AD and UC calendar systems. Therefore the first year of the Universal Century calendar is deduced on the official Gundam website in North America as being 2053, 2081, 2109, or possibly later, meaning UC 0079 would correspond to 2131, 2159, 2187, or later.

Since the mid-1990s, new official Universal Century chronologies have avoided the inclusion of AD dates before UC 0001. The following are AD dates that were once published with Universal Century chronologies:
